THREE girls at a primary school in Ingleby Barwick have raised more than £400 for a Teesside hospital ward.
Leanne Mulligan, Hannah Collings and Holly Eeles, all aged ten, persuaded teachers at Whinstone Primary School to take part in a charity football match after a former pupil was diagnosed with leukaemia.
The girls raised £426 for ward 14 at the James Cook University Hospital, where the boy is a patient.
Hospital staff said the money would buy televisions and computers for the ward.
Whinstone headteacher, Mike Poppitt, said: "The girls did it all themselves. They came to us with the idea and as a staff we did very little. The effort they put in was just amazing.
